Amorpha apiculata is a species of papilionate leguminous shrub known commonly as the Baja California false-indigo.
It is a very rare narrow endemic only found in the Sierra de San Pedro Martir and its western foothills.
The petioles are 1 to 2.5 cm long, and are usually equal to or longer than the width of the lowermost leaflet, with several to numerous of the amber-colored glands.
Botanist Robert L. Wilbur notes similarities to Amorpha californica, as they overlap in range, although he states that both species can be distinguished each other based on vegetative or reproductive characteristics, such as the hairless fruit, white vexillum, and the longer filaments on A.
[1] Molecular phylogenetics has supported their close relationship, with A. californica and A. apiculata creating a well-supported clade.
